Chapter 54: The Conspiracy Begins
Dongsheng Shenzhou Huaguo Mountain, the great sage sits on the stone chair in the water curtain cave. There were a bunch of melons and fruits in front of him, but the Great Sage stared at the stone table in front of him in a daze.
The white-haired old monkey walked into the water curtain cave, looked at the great sage, and quietly put down the plate in his hand. Then he asked softly, "Great King?"
Hearing this, the Great Sage came back to his senses, glanced at the old monkey, and said with a smile, "Are the children practicing smoothly now?"
"Back to the king, everything is going well, there are little demons outside the mountain recently, according to the king's previous will, the old monkey I have accepted them. The old monkey said respectfully.
The old monkey took a step forward, picked up the wine jug on the table, poured a glass of wine for the Great Sage, and then said, "Isn't the king on his mind?"
The Great Sage took the wine glass and drank it down, and said, "What can my grandson have on his mind?" ”
The old monkey poured wine again, "It's not been a year or two since I was in Huaguo Mountain, and the king's thoughts can't be hidden from me." The Great Sage must have something in mind to be so surprising today. ”
The Great Sage exhaled lightly and said, "You say, the ancient demon is in the world, and my grandson, as a descendant, should I go to pay homage?"
"It turns out that the king is worried about this matter, and in my opinion, you don't need to go and see him. Now that it is no longer the ancient times, who still remembers those mighty ones?" explained the old ape.
"But my grandson heard that there are ancestors of my clan among the five saints, if you don't go to worship, doesn't it seem that there is no etiquette?" the great sage asked again when he mentioned the old ape ancient saint.
"Your Majesty, you have to understand your current identity, the Buddha Sect defeated the Buddha, the Monkey King of Heaven. Let's not talk about whether there will be gossip in the West Heaven and Heavenly Court if you visit you, and just say that the Five Sages can receive you? I heard that the Great Peacock King of Buddhism went to visit you, but they were all targeted by the Five Sages, if you go, the Great King, wouldn't you be targeted?" The old monkey still didn't want the Great Sage to go, and persuaded him.
The Great Sage sighed softly and said, "After all, they are all the ancestors of my demon clan, and my grandson, as a descendant, is there any reason not to visit the shrine?"
"My lord, it's not like I'm stingy or something. The old monkey handed a peeled banana to the Great Sage, "I don't think these ancestors take you seriously at all, but now it seems that these ancestors have always been alive and alive in that ancient era." But who will come to your aid, my lord, when you are robbed?"
What the old monkey said is not unreasonable, the old Jin Crow and the old ape stay in the reckless and dead land all the year round, Kunpeng is dormant in Daze and does not come out, and the Linghu Tianque is in the outside world all the year round. But when the Great Sage was robbed, no one came forward to help.
"What happened back then was that my grandson was impulsive and couldn't complain about others. The Great Sage waved his hand and explained.
"You say, how does the fake monkey king compare with my grandson?" the great sage suddenly asked about the real and fake monkey king on the way to learn the scriptures.
"This, the old minister doesn't dare to say anything!" The old monkey bowed his head, the great sage waved his hand, and said, "It's okay, my old grandson suddenly remembered this matter today, you have been with my old grandson for the longest time, what do you think of this matter?"
"The fake monkey king back then, in terms of strength, and the king have their own merits, but the gap between his temper and the great sage is too big, he is too arrogant, even higher than the arrogance of the king when you made trouble in the heavenly palace!" The old monkey carefully considered his words, "I think that the fake monkey king back then was nothing more than relying on your reputation as the king, if it is true, the strength is really inferior to the king!"
When the Great Sage heard this, he leaned back in his chair and whispered, "He is also a spirit monkey raised by a natural party, otherwise how can he compare with my grandson, let's say less in the future!"
"Yes, the king has educated him!!" the old man knows that he is wrong!" The old monkey bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
"You say, is it better for my old grandson to defeat the Buddha in this fight or to be this Monkey King?" the Great Sage asked again.
"This, Lao Chen thinks that the king is still good to be a great sage, and he defeats the Buddha and stoops to the West Heaven Rulai, how can there be a Monkey King himself!" the old monkey said.
The Great Sage's fingers tapped lightly on the back of the chair, "Yes, how can the Great Sage be free and happy, okay, you can step down." ”
The old monkey took a few steps back and exited the Water Curtain Cave. There is only one great sage left in the cave, Lao Qi, I really can't compare to you, but your monkeys and monkey grandchildren are about to forget you, is this Huaguo Mountain still Huaguo Mountain?
Daze, Kunpeng was the first to speak, "Why, this monk shook your mind in just a few words? What is the result of the past life and the result of the future life, this king never believes this!"
"There is still some truth in what this monk said, but my demon court is orthodox! What kind of heavenly court in the afterlife, this king has long seen that the heavenly court is not pleasing to the eye. Over the years, this king has been low-voiced, living in a reckless and dead land, and he has long been tired of this kind of life, and now it's time for my demon clan to turn over!" Lao Jin Crow clenched his fist and smashed it on the back of the chair, and said viciously.
"In that case, the Demon Court matter, then let it go!Do you have any opinions?" Kunpeng asked, staring at the silent old ape Sansheng.
The old ape smiled, "This king never believes in karma. Linghu and Tianque smiled lightly, and were speechless, but their attitudes were already indicated.
Kunpeng stood up, "In this case, then wait for an opportunity!
In the Beihai Dragon Palace, the Bull Demon King and the Jiao Demon King sat on the ground, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, which was so lively.
"Big brother, are you really going to visit the Five Sages of Daze?" the Jiao Demon King asked softly.
The Bull Demon King nodded heavily, "After all, this king is the most powerful person in the demon clan, the second brother, you are not willing to come forward, how can the third brother and the seventh brother convert to Buddhism, even if they go, the great sage may not be able to please." The other brothers, the suppressed suppression, the missing disappearance, and this king is still an idle person, if this king doesn't go, wouldn't the descendants of my demon clan not know the etiquette too much?"
"It's good that the eldest brother has decided, that, if there is a chance, I hope that the eldest brother will bring a message to the seventh brother for the younger brother, I did too much about the Buddha treasure back then. The Jiao Demon King thought about it for a long time, but he still bowed his head and entrusted the Bull Demon King to bring a message to the Great Sage for him.
"Hahahaha," the Bull Demon King laughed and patted the hydra's shoulder heavily, "Big brother can't bring this to you, if you really want to apologize, then you can go to Huaguo Mountain to see the seventh brother in person, he has been waiting for you!"
Jiao Demon King picked up the wine glass and cried and laughed, "Big brother, you don't know, this king can't pull this face, and I hope that the eldest brother can be a peacemaker and help the younger brother this time." ”
The Bull Demon King put down his wine glass and said seriously, "Second brother, if the eldest brother doesn't help you, you still have to tie the bell to the bell." What happened back then, it was indeed our injustice first, if it were you, would you be able to bear this breath? The seventh brother's temper was unruly, and he asked me that day, why is the brother's heart cold?"
The movement in the hand of the Jiao Demon King paused, and there was no movement before the wine glass was placed on the corner of his mouth, "Did he really say that?"
The Bull Demon King sighed helplessly, nodded, and the Jiao Demon King raised his head and drank the wine in his hand.
"Why is the brother's heart cold? Why is the brother's heart cold? We did something wrong! Listening to the advice of the third brother and holding his troops still, causing the seventh brother to fight alone and making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, what did the Heavenly Court do? Slaughter my demon clan, expel me, etc., all this is indeed what we did wrong!" The Jiao Demon King looked up to the sky and roared.
"Big brother, the younger brother will go to the Huaguo Mountain today! Apologize to the seventh brother in person! Although the fifth brother died at his hands, it was the fifth brother who brought it on himself! We have long forgotten the brotherhood of the Seven Great Sages, but he still remembers the Seventh Sage, he still remembers! This king can't do wrong things without repenting, and this king can't be sorry for the righteous feelings of our seven great saints!"
The Bull Demon King nodded with satisfaction and patted the Jiao Demon King's shoulder heavily. It's been more than 500 years, more than 500 years! Are the Seven Great Sages finally breaking down their estrangement and finally reuniting? Although some people will never see each other again in this life.
In the Tang Dynasty Temple, Xuanzang glanced at the spiritual post in his hand, and he didn't know what the Buddha was calling him at this time, but Xuanzang's original spotless Buddha heart in his heart today was always inexplicably irritable, and he couldn't calm down, as if something big was going to happen.
But the Buddha summoned and passed the spiritual post in the void, indicating that this matter is related to himself, otherwise why did he preach the scriptures in this eastern land, the Buddha had already said that he would not summon himself if it was not a major event, and if he was summoned today, there must be a big event.
Xuanzang got up and explained to the monks in the temple, he stopped preaching for a few days, and then left in the clouds and went to the west sky, but Xuanzang never thought that he would never return to the temple today!
Beihai, the Bull Demon King and the Jiao Demon King stood on the waves, and the Jiao Demon King arched his hand to the Bull Demon King, "Big brother, this is going to Daze, I hope that the eldest brother is very careful, the recent actions of the heavenly court have been continuous, I am afraid that the eldest brother will go to Daze and be more auspicious!"
"It's okay!" the Bull Demon King waved his hand with a big grin, "Now that the ancestor of my demon clan has been born, forgive him for what the Heavenly Court doesn't dare to do to this king." ”
"The eldest brother still has to be careful, the younger brother always feels that it has not been calm recently, so he specially deduced the heavenly opportunity, and found that the future of my demon clan is bloody, I am afraid that there will be a big disaster!" said the Jiao Demon King worriedly.
"Brother Xian, don't worry so much, the eldest brother knows in his heart, the eldest brother will leave first, you can also go to the Huaguo Mountain to meet the seventh brother, he has been waiting for you to go. The Bull Demon King set out and instructed before leaving.
"Big brother, take care!" The Jiao Demon King arched his hand to the Bull Demon King, and without delay, he turned around and went to Huaguo Mountain.
In the West Tianling Mountain, Xuanzang climbed the steps, and then gently pushed open the door of the main hall of the Great Lei Yin Temple. The hall is empty, only one person sits on the lotus Buddha platform in the first place with his eyes closed.
"Amitabha, disciple Xuanzang see the Buddha!" Xuanzang bowed and saluted.
"You're here, Xuanzang. Rulai said, "This Buddha summoned you today, it is really something, since you are here, then sit down!"
With a wave of his robe, a futon appeared in the center of the hall, and Xuanzang sat down cross-legged.
"Your previous body, Guanyin Lux has already said to you, you are the second disciple of the Buddha to sit down the golden cicada, when you were listening to the Buddha's lectures, you took a nap, despised the Dharma, the Buddha degraded you to the lower realm to suffer from the reincarnation, and now you have successfully completed the scriptures, and it can be regarded as a complete merit. ”
"This Buddha views the Eastern Soil of the Tang Dynasty, and the matter of spreading the scriptures has also been completed, and the Heavenly Court has repeatedly troubled my Buddhism with the matter of transmitting the scriptures, so from today on, you will stay in the West Tianling Mountain, and you don't need to go to the Eastern Tang Dynasty to preach the scriptures!"
"The biggest thing that this Buddha has summoned you today is actually to tell you the purpose of studying the scriptures. Now that we have learned the scriptures, it is time to reap the fruits!"
